a. 3. Discuss current and projected employment opportunities in the State (such as by providing information available under §15 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 491-2) by occupation), and the types of skills possessed by eligible individuals. (20 CFR 641.325(c))
Current Narrative:
Louisiana SCSEP will work collaboratively to address issues ensuring host agency assignments are truly providing skills training to meet the needs of both the participant and employers. Sub-Grantees will continue to utilize the Individual Employment Plan (IEP), in partnership with the participant and host agency supervisor, ensuring community service assignments are providing skills training that meet the needs of the participant and host agency. Sub-Grantees will monitor participants at least once every six months at their community service assignments. During those visits, sub-grantees staff will review and update the IEP with both the participant and host agency supervisor.
Sub-Grantees will continue to monitor the training to ensure local employers will prepare participants for unsubsidized employment through the acquisition of transferable skills in demand. In addition, where applicable, sub-grantees in partnership with participants will develop IEPs that combine community service employment with their allowable training (e.g., classroom training or on the job experience (OJE) in the private for profit sector) as funding is available.
